Form & Verdict
Strong stayer who comes here in form and was first past the post at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last time only to be demoted for interfering with the second; high in the weights following a further 4lb rise but this is very winnable.

11st 3lb

J: Miss Heidi Palin

T: Richard Hawker

Quirky customer who is often reluctant to jump off; won at Stratford (3m2f, good) in April, after a break, and is now back on the same mark, but recent efforts were below that level and he's never easy to predict.

Has struggled to recapture the form that saw him successful at Stratford (3m2f, good) off 2lb lower in April; not one to dismiss lightly but recent efforts temper enthusiasm.

OR: 102

Form & Verdict
Has achieved very little over fences since winning a 3m handicap on good ground in June 2021 but he's potentially well handicapped for this return to hurdling and is a dual winner in this scene; cheekpieces tried.

Form & Verdict
11yo with a record of 0-23 and he was tailed off in a C&D handicap when last seen in early June; does have form on which a case can be made but others are safer.

Came from the rear to win consecutive 2m4f handicaps at Market Rasen (both on good) last June and largely consistent since; looked as good as ever when clear second at Ludlow (2m5f, good) nine days ago and must be considered off same mark here.
